About Me

Hello!

Who is this DramaMommaSpeaks?

 I’m a retired drama education curriculum author, award winning veteran drama teacher. Also, I am a very experienced, successful theater director doing both for over thirty-five years and directing over two hundred and fifty productions. See? I’m just ancient now…

I have a BFA in Theater from Stephens College where I studied acting and a MED in Creative Arts Learning, arts integration from Lesley College. I have performed professionally in the past, but spent the bulk of my career developing programs, curriculum and directing. For instance, I co-developed a national playwriting contest for youth theater plays and created several youth theater programs in Missouri and Colorado.  Here’s a blog post about the contest Start a Playwriting Contest Using 20 Questions.

Here is my resume for directing and for acting.

DramaMommaSpeaks is about all things drama–teaching at every grade level, drama lessons, directing, the arts, drawing wisdom from my experiences AND I share about my writing of Bumbling Bea.
